!["Australian Attorney General Michael Atkinson, the man single-handedly responsible for his country's worthless videogame bans, has been interviewed by Aussie gamer show Good Game, where he claimed that people like you and I are scarier than bikers. Yes, a few geeks who masturbate over Samus Aran are apparently scarier than huge, tattooed, leather-clad men who like to assault each other for sport.
"[In] contrast with cinema, with interactive games, people are actually doing things," notes the outdated politician. "One can go to the cinema and see someone beheaded, and one sees it as a passive viewer. I think it can do harm, but we permit it within certain restrictions ... in interactive games, the person playing is doing the action, therefore I think it has a higher impact and impact is always been a consideration in censorship or classification, call it what you will.
"... You've seen the kind of material that R18+ gamers are circulating ... I don't know who sends me this filthy material, but I get my electoral office email spammed. About two o' clock in the morning I got a threatening note from a gamer shoved under my door. I feel that my family and I are more at risk from gamers than we are from the outlaw motorcycle gangs who also hate me ... the outlaw motorcycle gangs having been hanging around my doorstep at 2AM. A gamer has."
So, because Atkinson got a threatening letter (I'm sure it's the first he's ever gotten), gamers are more of a threat than bikers. Right. And this tar-brushing gentleman is the man who thinks he has a right to tell everybody in Australia what they can and can't enjoy. Wonderful. "
